Shipping/Freight Charges

How does Nextworld recommend billing shipping/freight charges on sales orders for the end customer to pay?

You can use the Freight line type on the Sales Order. A few things to note in the base product:

  • You can create a non-stock item with a default line type of Freight
  • You should set it up with the correct Item Tax Category so that Avalara can tax it accordingly
  • You can enter a free formed item (description only item) on the sales order with a line type of Freight and associate it with the correct Item Tax Category
  • The freight line will show up as a line on the printed invoice and the credit memo. It will also show up as a separate label in the totals section just below the Subtotal, which excludes Freight lines

How will cost be entered? as the cost will be different each time the item is billed?

What do you mean by “default line type of Freight”? Is this for the item type, fee type, or?

The freight expense/cost is handled on the AP side when a vendor invoice is received from the carrier.

This is the Default Line Type in the Sales tab of the Item Org Master.
